DNA mutations causing cancer occur in cells through aging, environmental exposures, and cellular factors. By analysing thousands of cancer genomes, we found...
Dog breeds are iconic, serving as familiar examples for how genetic selection can produce a diverse array of biological traits from appearance to physiology to...
Researchers rely on the human reference genome as a baseline to identify genetic differences between individuals, which are crucial for understanding human...
Populations in African countries have much more genetic variation than previously thought. We sequenced the DNA of 400 individuals and showed how people moved...
We studied the genetic variation among people from diverse groups across the globe, to learn about the complex evolutionary history that has shaped our...
The plant catmint can send your cat into a state of frenzy. It generates a cat-tempting chemical, unlike other members of the mint family. This study has...
Growing concerns over the use of synthetic pesticides in agriculture have sparked a renewed interest in natural alternatives. Our work revisits a formerly...
History books tell us about how ancient populations developed to be the modern world that we are living in. Ancient DNA can provide us with a broader picture...
Gene editing, the molecular technique which allows DNA modifications, is evolving to an unprecedented precision. CRISPR-Cas9, the groundbreaking tool used in...
Wondering why modern tomatoes are often so tasteless? New insights on their DNA offer a roadmap to bring back their tasty flavor.
